Maurits Escher: "Tetrahedral planetoid"
The image above this text is named "Tetrahedral planetoid". And it is made by Dutch artist Maurits Escher, who is well-known for geometrical treatises. In the "Tetrahedral planetoid" Escher used the breaking image, and at the first people see the old city, which is somehow strange form. Then the observer sees that there is also a futuristic image like some kind of moon base with the bubble-building in the same image.
That image also might get inspiration from the orchids or faces of the bugs. So "Tetrahedral planetoid" is the same time past and futuristic. But when we are looking at the Tetrahedral planetoid we might see one interesting detail, it looks a little bit like Tokamak-reactor, which is used in the fusion tests. So did the "Tetrahedral planetoid" give the inspiration for the researchers who created "Tokamak"?
We can think that the round areas in the image are like the plasma tunnel of the donut-shaped Tokamak reactor. The structures around those circle areas would portrait the magnetic field, what mission is to keep the plasma away from the walls of that reactor. And sometimes I have asked is this kind of detail only coincidence?
Maybe it is, but the thing is that images are stimulating our brains and make a connection with the thoughts and knowledge. When a person sees the image, that always causes a connection with abstract thinking and memory. And this connection is calling as innovation.
